Brilliant Observations

Why at the end of every podcast we have does it Just. Get. GOOD? This week, Amy learns what a hummer is. Or *does* she? Melissa begins the five year process of decluttering her house. And everyone reminisces about the pleasures of Food Factory Tours of Yore. It's all part of our Things We Do For Our Kids series, also known as Why I Can't Retire.

It's Spring Break 2021, and like all good shut-ins, Missy tries her hand at an in-person, socially distanced, highly vaccinated, folding soccer chair, we're done when I say we're done Driveway Social Hour. (Stuart even brought his five favorite jokes.) Meanwhile, in Southtowne, Amy makes grand plans for a covid safe "beach bubble," only to watch the bubble burst as her friend catches the virus. (He's back home now and doing fine.) It's enough to drive a girl to search for meaning… in unpronounceable German euphemisms and accidental Buddhism.

There once was a man from Nantucket. Who had a podcast and said f$@! it. But Apple objected and fans soon defected, so now he cries tears like a bucket. What can we say, Dear Listener? We gave this limerick our "whole ass."

It starts with a little harmless fat shaming — okay, not that little. (And not that harmless.) Then we move on to ripping the Royals. Next up? Missy tears Amy a new one for her lack of automotive maintenance, complete disregard for her own children's safety and total refusal to adopt any reasonable standard of adulthood. Truth be told, she might have a point.

We wrap up our judges episode ever by doing what we do best — judging YOU, Dear Listener, for so rarely keeping in touch.

So it turns out, Lionel Ritchie can get it. Amy continues to slow-walk her possible brain break diagnosis. And Melissa's Miracle Boobs™ return for a command performance — this time with *No Bra.* What can we say, Dear Listener? We just love you that much.

Dear Listener, who's your first? Missy unlocks the vault to see if anybody besides Stuart is actually in there. Spoiler Alert: she locks him back in. (Poor Stu.) THANK YOU to our newest Patreon Subscribers, our longest fans, and our loudest supporters. We love you way more than we ever admit.

From sourdough and cannibalism to Chris Hemsworth's prosthetic penis, we dive deep into the paralyzing reality of "healthy fears." Suck it, sharks. We're buying a beach house.

Friends in need level-jump their testicle-and-lady-part questions straight over Melissa's head in an attempt to get to Dr. Stuart. Her advice? If you're taking two days to eat an orange, you're doing something wrong. Join us as we eviscerate all the cheeses, catchup on the beach house hunt and debate the horrors of wedgie-inducing underpants. Weigh in on the thong-vs-boy short-vs-nudist debate at @ListenBrilliant, @BrillObsSquad, www.BrilliantObservations.com, or [email protected]. Find swag at TeePublic.com/BrilliantObservations, or support us at Patreon.com/BrilliantObservations. Be kind. We're snowed in.

It's the "Melissa hates everything orange" episode, as Missy dives head first into the mystery of Sumo oranges, "orange" American cheese (breathe slowly, it's ok), government loaf cheese, Velveeta "cheese"…and the list rages on. Amy swings by college for a quick "life will be OK" visit, while Melissa Instacarts family-sized sushi during two feet of snow. Missy spills the latest on the beach house hunt. We both dive deep into the perils of women's underwear, including wedgies, thongs, boy shorts and toe socks. It's a rabbit hole. Then Missy saves the day with talk of Lupin, Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist, writing novels and getting paid for your craft. So in the end we finish strong.
